Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 156

Chapter 156 Be Willing to Be Bait
Before going to British did not bring people, lyu3 bu4 and hou ChengCheng mobilized for his men, said this is general zhang chao, the victory or defeat of this battle will directly determine the ownership of the whole yanmen county, and said the general also specially sent a letter, expressed confidence that the vanguard army will be able to complete the task.

The general was paying attention to them and waiting for good news. This made the eight thousand vanguard soldiers excited. All of them wanted to praise them well. The vanguard soldiers who wanted to make contributions were all high-spirited and ready to fight at any time.

Zhang Chaojun’s soldiers all went to the battlefield to use their lives. The main reason was that the military merit system was very obvious.

It was stipulated in the military merit, but anyone who made a contribution on the battlefield would receive a certain amount of reward. Among them, there was a big reward for great merits and a small reward for small merits. The rewards are related to the honor of the individual soldier as well as to the honor of his family and loved ones.

For example, once a soldier receives a reward, other than the possibility of promotion, (an ordinary soldier will be promoted to vice squad leader if he or she makes a contribution to the battle; Vice monitor promoted to monitor; Class monitor to vice platoon leader, and so on, the highest can get the position of battalion commander. Once he became a battalion commander, he would have a certain social status. He could be taken care of by many preferential policies in Jin Yang City. Even if the battalion commander died on the battlefield, the family would receive a large pension. After the battalion commander was the commander, he would enter the general’s line of sight, and he would be personally conferred with his family.) It was precisely because the promotion system was placed in front of the public, and everyone had equal opportunities, that a warrior would yearn for war, yearn for merit in the war, and yearn to return home with glory.

This battle was something that the Great General valued, and once he made a contribution, he would be able to glorify his ancestors. This was what an ordinary soldier pursued and hoped for.

When the opportunity came, it all depended on his performance how much credit and benefits he could obtain from it. In order to become a Grandmaster and bring honor to their families, the eight thousand vanguard troops were all ready to fight.

According to Lyu bu and Hou Cheng’s previous plan, a total of sixteen battalions of cavalry were divided into six battalions as archers, responsible for long-range shooting. Once the enemy began to approach, Lyu bu and Hou Cheng would each lead five battalions to counterattack, catching the enemy off guard. This was because under normal circumstances, their forces were already small, and they were being pinched by both sides, so the vanguard army definitely shouldn’t retaliate.

It was precisely because everyone was thinking like this that Lyu bu decided to do the opposite, using the art of war to describe it as a real and virtual battle.

Hou Cheng agreed with this suggestion. If he wanted to win with the few, he had to use his moves. As long as they disrupted the enemy’s deployment, they would be able to severely injure the enemy and give themselves more chances to win the battle.

Six bow and arrow camps, each holding half, ready to fire arrows at any time, in front of them is the previous two thousand huns captives, by them to block each other’s first wave of arrows. In the distance, the enemy troops from the north and south were slowly advancing.

In terms of offensive arrangements, Crown Prince Qu Bei had the same choice as Ada, Attila, and the others. That is to let zhang quan han army step walk with shield in the front, the huns cavalry followed behind. Just from this point of view, the huns will not treat the han people equally, they are just a chess piece that can be sacrificed at any time, can be abandoned.

In this regard, the han army infantry or some opinions, but the situation is not as good as people. Their governors are afraid of the huns, they also have to swallow bitter water into their stomachs, according to the huns meaning to walk in the front.

There were 10,000 infantry in the south and 5,000 in the north. They held their shields and lined up in a long line as they approached the vanguard army on the slope step by step.

Faced with the enemy approaching step by step, the vanguard army also made preparations to defend themselves. In the north and south, each with lyu3 bu4 and hou cheng hou cheng led five battalions of two thousand five hundred cavalry standing in the front row, the scimitar in his hand into the raised.

The scimitar was also a saber. This was created by Zhang Chao and some experienced saber refiners from the Weapons Research Institute.

Zhang Chao put forward a general idea. These masters studied according to their descriptions and finally refined this kind of saber with a wide back and thin blade. The hilt of the saber was slightly bent in the direction of the blade and the blade was heavier.

With this kind of equipment, it was entirely possible to use the powerful impact formed by the horse’s speed to drive the saber to complete such tactical actions as hacking and hacking, and ultimately severely injure the enemy.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Saber had appeared. The reason it was useless in the past was because there were very few cavalry versus infantry. Now that he was facing a total of 15,000 infantry from the north and south, Lyu bu had the vanguard army reveal their sabers.

The infantry of Yanmen Prefecture slowly advanced. It seemed to be very powerful because of the number of people. However, it could be seen from their untidy and even somewhat frightened gazes that they were extremely scared.

Being a soldier in Yanmen Prefecture was a matter of utter helplessness. Because of the governor Zhang Quan, the people here were bullied by the Xiongnu cavalry all year round. If he didn’t want his own property to be robbed, his own woman to be robbed, and his relatives to be injured, then he could only choose to become a soldier.

However, this was not a complete guarantee. At most, there was a certain chance that it would cause less damage to the common people.

For people like this who were forced to join the army, they were merely using this identity to protect their families. When it comes to morale and combat strength, that’s something that makes people chuckle. A person who doesn’t even have the heart to fight, how can you let him have any fighting intent, and what kind of victory can he win?

This time, Zhang Quan knew that there was actually a Great General’s troops nearby in Yin Guan City. Immediately panicked, while calling for help to the prince in the city, also transferred the nearby county city defense troops, this has now put together ten thousand troops.

About these people’s fighting strength, zhang quan himself is also aware, but did not put hope on his soldiers, he is counting on the huns cavalry, in his opinion, this is invincible, attack all brother’s strong teacher, used to deal with zhang chao this general is appropriate.

“Brothers, do you see that? The footsteps of these soldiers are becoming weak. Their legs are trembling. They don’t dare to look straight into their eyes, and their eyes are somewhat dodging. Such a person is not worthy of being our vanguard army’s opponent. They are even inferior to our Second Grade army. What can I do against such an opponent, even if there are many of them?” Lyu bu saw all the weaknesses in the infantry camp and shouted loudly to his 2,500 vanguard cavalry.

“Kill them! Kill them!” Most of the vanguard cavalry composed of west cool warriors, under the leadership of the first fierce general, is a high fighting spirit, hand saber constantly brandishing, as if to blow the wind to cut into a few pieces.

The shouts of the vanguard army caused the infantry on the opposite side to be even more frightened. If it weren’t for the huns cavalry following behind them covetously, they probably would have turned around and fled now.

There was no way, the infantry had to slowly forward, only looking forward to their first wave of attacks, attracted the xiongnu cavalry and the enemy cavalry on the opposite side to a bloody battle, so they may have a chance to escape, good, won the battle, will get some rewards is also possible.

“Everyone, don’t be afraid. There are powerful Xiongnu cavalry behind us. We just need to block the first wave of the enemy’s attack to win.” In the southern camp, General Liu Zai, who commanded five thousand infantry, saw that his side’s morale was so low and immediately cheered up. However, when he saw the first general in the enemy camp, Lyu bu, who was riding on a red hare and holding the Heaven Painting Halberd, felt a chill run down his spine. This person was someone who could not even defeat Ada and Attila. If it was him, he would have to give him a look when he fought. He had to remember to escape in time.

Even the commander-in-chief was prepared to retreat at any time, not to mention the soldiers below, all of them were even more scared to death in their hearts.

The distance between them was getting closer and closer. From five hundred steps to four hundred steps, then three hundred steps, two hundred steps.

By the time he took two hundred steps, it was already within the range of the bow and arrow. However, Lyu bu did not attack immediately. What he needed was absolute confidence. He was still waiting.

Only when he was 150 steps away and could already see the archers making preparations did Lu Bu shout loudly, “Get out of the way!”

As the word flashed out, the three thousand cavalry led by lyu3 bu4 quickly dodged to the left and right, and then behind them appeared one thousand five hundred cavalry who had been pulled open to build arrows.

As soon as the archer cavalry came out, under the orders of the three battalion commanders, they quickly released the arrows in their hands. For a time, they fired thousands of arrows at the enemy’s Yanmen County infantry camp.

Originally, he thought that the other party would mainly charge with cavalry, but unexpectedly, he had already prepared an archer?

The hidden cavalry suddenly fired their arrows. This action caught the infantry off guard. Some of the infantry with shields hurriedly raised them. However, there was no chance for them to protect others before they hurried. It was already very good to be able to stand a shield in front of them.

At least a thousand infantry without shields, especially the halberd soldiers, were targeted by the rain of arrows. For a time, patches of soldiers were shot to the ground, causing chaos to appear in the Bu Army camp.

“Charge!” Seeing that the other party was in a mess, Lyu bu raised the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, shouted loudly, and rushed out first.

Following Lu Bu’s charge, the cavalry of the five battalions behind him also jumped off their horses and rushed towards the infantry camp that was already in chaos with their sabers raised high.

Originally, infantry against cavalry depended on the sturdiness of the formation, plus the three rows of halberds at the front.
